W.I.P for Chapter 2 of Chasing Shadows

Amaranth's first time visiting the Inner Sanctum of the Emerald Grove is far from the peaceful experience of self-discovery she was hoping for

'You see that poor child? How they wield the darkness with unconscious effort? They've learnt to embrace shadow. As we all should. Just as you once did…'

Bile filled the back of her throat. Her head filled with all those voices growing louder, spinning like a top. The incantation. She can't see Ulric. Not anymore, but she can still hear him. His voice crossed the line from whatever plane he watched from afar as her mind unraveled in disarray. Fear tangled its way around her soul.

"Stopping for a bit of sightseeing, are we?" Astarion approaches from behind. "I don't see what the big deal is. It's just a piece of wood. Nothing to write home about."

'… I know the darkness that festers deep inside you. It cannot be stopped. Not when it so longs to burst forth from its slumber after a long winter's sleep. It's as much a part of you as I am. As I always will be.'

"Hey, are you alright? What's going on?"

"Can't you hear him?"

"Hear who?" Astarion asked.

'My sweet, corrupted flower… soon they will see you for what you are. Hiding behind those delicate silk petals so full of color. All flowers turn to wilt, and you are no different. Before that happens, we will collect what is ours. Drag you back into the shadows.'

She'll never forget that laugh. The night she had been caught, back against the wall. She'd been this close to taking back her freedom, but now, there was nowhere left to run.

'And this time, you won't escape us again. We'll make sure of that.'

First part of my Feyshadow long-fic that takes place during BG3 is up. I love them so much and I poured every ounce of that into their story, but also hope it resonates with others as well 💗

VP of Astarion on his knees quietly hunched over Amaranth, noticing she fell asleep in front of the campfire without covering herself to sleep in her bedrool, a pot of tea beside her with a pained look in her sleep

“Oh, your poor parents.” He says, but there’s an undertone of humor behind the words.
“You know that most children tend to lock themselves in their rooms when they’re going through a rebellious phase. Not up a tree. But if you still feel that undeniable compulsion to climb any more trees in the middle of the night, I’ll presume to let our merry little band know we should start checking the treetops around camp?”
“I don’t know about that." She smiles coyly. "Sometimes you gotta mix things up now and again.” Even if she couldn’t get the humorous image out of her mind.
“The campfire feels way too cozy to pry myself away from. And it’s my first time sleeping in a tent! I’ve never had an excuse to use one until now. I’m kind of excited, to be honest. And besides…”
The silence was unsettling. She hadn’t stopped talking all day long. Wishing Gale would cast Silence on her to get her to stop for five minutes before the afternoon sun had even begun to set.
And for the first time, Astarion sees her struggle. Carefully choosing her next words. It felt wrong. Took everything in him to keep him from pressing, so he could hear her voice. Even if it was irritating.

I feel bad plugging in my longfic since I've been really discouraged with my writing, and I need to return to it, but if anyone's interested, you can read about it here:

It's good Frum thinks Fauci isn't the villain.

But his uncertainty about the virus being intentionally created & whether Fauci lied about it is uninformed - to my mind, a remaining influence of the conspiracy theory promoted by Bloom, the NAS & Blinken in 2021 - & feeds those who villainize Fauci.

"Senator Rand Paul and others want Americans to believe that Fauci was aware of the possibility that the coronavirus was intentionally created in a Chinese lab, even as he insisted in public comments that the virus had a natural origin. He may not have been forthcoming; the scientific verdict remains uncertain."
